1(!NG DOM OF HAY 11. 'ROYAL OAZETIT , OF HAYTI, JUNE 12, 1511. THE t 3rit YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE , . SANS SOUCt, Jur' n i I.—Milk( our angnst So vereign i• traversmg hirwgflow, end using his endeavours tq ameliorate our internal situation, eu unrxi)ecre , ! event has just seized upon the public at;ention Petio , ,, the •oie tititltor of the civil war, is 110 'wore A few (-cyl after bit clece4se, we were perfectlt acqiiainted %%jilt Ate circurbo antes of his indisposition Hod of his death, by intelligence, .I!itect and certain, re, eivril how Putt-an-Prince ; bur ue forbore lo mtuoion ir, because we were 41esirou , helorehand It) know What blight have 'been his last testamentary dispositions. ' i , During his lite, the matt was wrapt up in itna ginary hopes. His passons rendered him blind to his wrongs and his injustice ; hut, when the close of life approached, and passion ceased to operate, these illusions vanished, and truth dis played itself in all its nakedness. A reortlin t r to the recital COW'S(' of human affairs. there was reason to hope, that General Petion, on the hunk of the grave, about to appear be fore the Tribunal of the Eternal, would have been desirous to render unto ttesar what belonged to Cmsar ; that touched with the evils he brought upon his cotrry, he would have been desirous to compensate, by one good and glorious action, the errors of his life. Vain hope He had a heart which nothing could change. lit place of con-ti ming, as he always did, both in life and death, ico reject the voice of reason, of justice, and ha why was his heart not softened ? %%you'd to God that he had listened to the sage councils of our august Sovereign, and accepted his pa ternal offers. Ile would then have acquired his good will, and merited the national gratitude ; but he allowed himself to be drawn away by the illusions of ambition. He knew not-his true in terests. He ceased to regard either honour or duty. 11.! is to be pitied, and let us pity him. In a Government where nothing is stable,where every thing is ephemeral., • among, so - many claim ants having some right to the Presidency, it was impossible to foresee in what hands the helm ni the State should be placed. Among the General Officers of colour, Bazelais was the oldest of all who belonged to this party. He was appointed General of Brigade in the year 1503, by the Emperor, and also Chief of his Staff. Next in succession were the Generals Botgella, Francisque, Bergerac Trichet, Lys, Brotty, Le Blanc, and Boyer. Among the black Generals, Va , al, the oldest, was appointed General of Bri gade in 1804. Next to him are Gedeon, and Frederic. Among so many claimants, as we be fore remarked, it was impossible to foresee upon whom the choice ought to fall. This doubt, how ever, Wits not of long co9tionance; Some time after the death of General Petion, we understand that lie determined upon General Jean Pierre Boyer as his successor in the Presi dency. Having bat lately engaged in the mili tary career, he was but imperfectly known in this point of view. General Boyer, up to 1807, was only the Secretary of . General l'etion. He then discovered high and honourable seotimerits. He publicly condemned the ilimeaaurable ambition of General Pet ion, who, he said, was to be the ruin of his Country. • We have at present grounds .for believing that General Boyer will add example to precept, and - will pursue a cour,e'cpposite to that of his predecessor, for without doubt, he would not wish to do that himself which he blam ed in another. A crew era has then arisen upon Hayti. The time is at length arrived, in which thinking men, and men of virtue, the worthy fathers of a family, they who aspire only to enjoy tranquillity and se curity, may openly declare themselves, and labour with us for the re-union of cite Haytians, and as sist us in creating a new order of things, an un changing and happy fortuity. A Sovereign, the oldest existing Chief of the army of Hayti, the most met itor ions, the most il •lostritts among; all the Haytians ; he who ren dered the most important awl the most lasting aervices to his country; he who is the most worthy and the most capable of directing us in our politi cal career, ruble and generous in his chatcter he it is whose pa.ernal voice you now hear. 0 Haytians of the Vest and of the Smith, you abould not be deaf to the call of your country, who invites you to her bosom to form but one and the same family, to form one and the same band -against the common enemy. All y air evils and ours are about to vanish ; why hesi!are then to fly into out at ms, or to de vlare yourselves for the cause of re-union )- What 'have you then to fear There cannot exi-t either enemies or delinquents among the Haytians. The King knows not of them. This legitimate Chief, whom you have first proclaimed and recognized as bead of the Government, extends his paternal arms to you; he knows well how you have been drawn into the horrors of civil war ; he knows -that you are completely innocent ; he knows who the only and real au: hot of our troubles and disasters is ; 'hut that person is no more! Every thing; is rendered plain by the voice of Divine Providence, which seems desirous to ,put a period to the dis sentious and misfortunes of the Haytiatr people. Can you, my fellow-countrytnen, can you refuse to listen to counsels of wisdom anti reason, when you have no longer any motive for continuing dis united, and that your interest, on the contrary, calls upon you, and counsels you to ally your selves to us in the most intimate nsaamer ? Would you not be mad, the enemies of yourselYes, unjust and inhuman, to persist, vyithout any reason, and without any motive wkratsoever, in keep ing on foot a civil war, in`teariog the bosom. of your country, and causing the blood of your brethren and fellow-citizens to flow No, it is impossible to believe that such men can exist amongst you. No, they do not exist any more amongst you than with us, for if such sanguinary beings could exist, if such enemies to their country and to its true interest as to desire a continuance of civil war, did exist, they could not he Haytians .; they must be Frenchmen or their secret pail Hayti d ns I when our King is the first to set the example of wisdom, of moderation, and of geoe- rosily; wlten lie only wislies you to listen in tit , ' voice of reason, of justice, of humanity, can you for, a moment hesitate to follow his noble, his generous example ? Can you, ought you to have any other opinion than his, and not t o follow the impulse which he gives you at the moment when he is only concerned for your happiness, your real interests, and the safety of your country? Think, then, that the whole world is witness to the generosity, to the magna nimity of the Kirtg ; reflect on the goodness, the justice, and the legitimacy of his cause; and if, after his paternal Proclamation, you persist in keeping yonrselves away from him, think that it is you who will be responsible for all the evils and calamities which may again befal our country. — Recollect that you will be inexcusable in the eves of your cotemporaries and of posterity, who will j,,dge you with all the severity and impartia lity which you will deserve by your obduracy. PROCLAMATION. THE KING, TO THE HAYTIANS OF THE WEST AND SoUTH. HarrisNs,—The civil commotions which have afflicted our country have at all times deeply af fected our heart, nod we have not, and shall not cease to use our utmost efforts to suppress them, without causing flaytians' blood to flow ; that precious blood which it is our duty to preserve fur the defence of the country against the com mon enemy. Whilst the only obstacle which opposed. our reunion was in existence, the people of Hayti are witness to all those efforts which we made to come to peace and amicable terms. We have not hesitated to make the first advance, anti it will he always pleasing and honourable to us to sacrifice every thing which is personal to ourself, for, the happiness and general interest of our co-patriots. At the present moment, when there no longer remains any obstacle to peace, to the reunion of the people, and the extinction of civil war, we call upon all yell-disposed persons, on all good fathers -of families, in fine, upon all those Hay tians who love their country, good order, and tranquillity, to second our efforts by every means in their power ; to exert themselves for the re union of the Haytians, for the putting an end to our civil dissentious, and for bringing about a new order of things which may be just and reasonable, and advantageous for all. Our first duty and our most earnest desire are, to labour strenuously for the good of the Haytian people ; to make them enjoy all those advantages which they have a right to expect from a just and paternal Government ; to introduce public in struction ; to cause religion, the arts and sciences, commerce and agriculture to flourish : but in order to do these things effectually, it is necessary to consolidate internal tranquillity. We are informed, that some evil-disposed per sons, who wish to renew the horrors of civil war, have circulated the report that, under pretence of visiting the kingdom, we are taking advantage of recent circumstances, in order to march an army against Port-au-Prince, at the Sallie time that the real object of the march, which we now make in the kingdom, accompanied by our family, is to be convinced froM our own observation of the state of our people and of cultivation, to promote the observance of the laws of order and of justice, and to reform . and iirmrove every thing H bieli May stand in need of them. In order to dissipate those false reports, whose only object is - to inflame the public mind, and to create tears, which :may retard the re-onion of Haytians into one and the same family, we have thought it necessary to make known what are our e ie,ss and paternal intentions. It is to carry those intentions into full execu tion that we are determined to prolong our stay in the city of St. Mark, in order to be near at hand to communicate with the Haytians of the West and South, and they ought to regard the troops who occupy the lines of the Western boun dary only as friends and brothers, who come not to fight against, but to greet and fraternise with them. Wherefore, in order to remove from the ene mies of public order ar,d tranquility any ground for spreaditig fresh reports, tending to throw doubts on our pacific and well-known intentions, and iu order that no person may plead ignorance of them, we declare and rroclaim the following articles, which shall be religiously observed to wards all those who shall recognise and declare themselves in favour of the re-union of the Royal and Legitimate Authority : ist. The guarantee of their persons and property. 2. No person shall be in any way molested fur his past conduct, in consequence of civil dissentions. 3. The confirmation in their rank and employment of all Officers, Civil and Military, of every description. 4. We promise the most distinguished honours and rewards to those who shall spontaneously acknowledge the legitimate authority, and shall evince the greatest zeal and devotion in bringing about the re-union of the Haytians. 5. The troops of tha line shalt be maintained, clothed, and paid. They shalt remain in their respective garrisons, to pro tect their native habitations, and their own fellow-citizens, and the Chiefs sliaßalso be continued in the respective com mands which they at present enjoy. 6. We again repeat our orders to theGenerats commandinF the arrondissements of Arcahave and of Mirbalais not in any manner to disturb those who shall come to and put themselves tinder their protection; hut, on the contrary, to welcome them with kindness and generosity, to afford them special protection, and to treat them as friends and fellow-citizens. Given at our Palace of St. Marc, the 9th of June, 1818, the 15th year of Independence, and the Bth of our Reign. HENRY. The Secretary of State, Ministeror Foreign Affairs, Count de LINIONADE.

FROM THE MAINE. AUG. 20.--Circumstances having delayed the Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle beyond the time first proposed, Prince Met teruich will now arrive on the Rhine some weeks be fore the Emperor, his Sovereign. Count Buol Schottenstein, the President of the Diet, waits only for the arrival of Prince Metternich to wait upon him, to receive verbal instructions respect ing several affairs that are before the Diet, and which may then be expected to come to a speedy conclusion. The Castle of Johannesberg has been most magnificently fined up to receive the Prince, and entirely new tornished. Wisbaden is mentioned as the place of the first meeting of the'Prince with the Prussian Chancellor, Prince Hardenburg. To the report that the three Sove reigns of Russia, Austria and Prussia will go to gether to Paris, after the termination of the Con gress at Aix-let-Chapelle, it is now added that they intend to go together to Italy. They design, it is stated, to visit Rome and Naples, and when they are in the first city, to arrange with his Holiness the conclusion of Concordats. People connect with this report various, preparations which are making at Milan, Modena and Florence, and which seem to indicate that personages of the highest rank are expected there.
